Behind the Story of NOWHERE TO HIDE @Bookouture

Promotional image for Nowhere to Hide by Carolyn Arnold, Sandra Vos Book 3. The book cover appears on the left, featuring a woman in a red coat walking toward a large house at night. On the right, a vehicle with bright headlights emerges through dense fog on a dark road, creating a tense and mysterious atmosphere. Text at the bottom reads: “The book that almost didn’t happen…” You may have heard that Nowhere to Hide, book three in the Sandra Vos series, released last week, but did you know this is the book almost didn\u2019t happen?

Bill Wetterman Hi Carolyn, if you are a Balducci fan, you have good taste. I read many of his books along with Tom Clancy and William Bernhardt. Glad to have you as a friend. If you like thrillers, consider Room 1515, my new novel. You can watch the trailer by going to Google and typing in Room 1515 YouTube to see if it is a read for you.
I've done mostly freelance. So this is my first novel, and I'm doing shameless marketing to obtain readers. lol


Douglas Wickard Carolyn, thanks for friending me on Goodreads! Can't wait to bite into ELEVEN! Nice having your support on Twitter as well.
Cheers!
Douglas


Christine Hatfield thanks for being my friend


Thomas Amo Carolyn! Thanks for the blog comment! I totally get ya on the series thing!
Cheers Tom
